“Battlefield skeleton wearing a Counter-Strike skin First let's discuss single-player. It's ok, not great, and could be better; it's better than BF4 imo just because it has some semblance of levels and approach, whereas…”
“With the news of the game being delisted very soon, at least on console platforms, I felt it was time to replay this campaign once again, yet part of me always feels that delisting a game is never a good thing. There…”
“Battlefield™ Hardline This was my first time playing a game like this, focused on police instead of military, and it felt different in a good way. The story is interesting and presented like a crime TV series, which…”

“Excellent campaign, never played the multiplayer, but damn, if you want a proper "cop movie" FPS campaign, very much the same quality as any COD or the Titanfall 2 campaign, this is it,”
“Love the campaign hate the client.”

“let's all revive BFH PC, i played this game on Xbox One before and the graphics still looks great 11 years later”
“Cool game. Nice to play something different than the usual War Fighting games. AI Is wonky, like looking at you through a wall & then knowing exactly where you are, If they saw you in the first place & then hid. Liked &…”

“Imagine opening up a browser tab to select the campaign or multiplayer? Like tf? How hard would it really be to simply, oh I don't know, use the already included User Interface instead?? Literally makes no sense, just…”
“This really isn't a great game, but it's hard to beat for two bucks. That is, until you realize that the 'main menu' is handled entirely through the EA's Battlelog website. Sometimes just doesn't work, and is incredibly…”

“I went into Battlefield Hardline expecting something fresh but still carrying the identity of the Battlefield series. Unfortunately, what I got felt like a completely different game that struggled to capture the soul,…”

“A different Battlefield experience. Plays more like CS rather than BF but it is still enjoyable and has a fantastic story. Multiplayer is sadly dead”
“can you guys please fix this game. when you try to play multiplayer it takes you to your browser for the servers where there is no one playing. this is a very good game and tbh it can hold up in 2026 the issue is they…”

“It is okay-ish. It is a different non-military battlefield where you play as cop active in war againt drugs in the backdrop of MIami. Missions are episodic like you are literally watching a tv series. Plot has many…”
“This ain't it chief. I bought Battlefield Hardline just to experience the single player side of it since multiplayer is mostly dead, with occasional player here and there spawning in multiplayer lobbies. I honestly…”

“Criminally underrated, I've been saying this for a decade now, if it didn't have Battlefield in the title, the reception to the game would have been much better.”
